Abstract:The focus of this special issue is on the climate narratives and discourses emerging in and around South Africa - how they relate to broader issues of social justice and resource allocation, and the role of rights talk and legal strategies in the framing of the problems and solutions. After an introduction by Jackie Dugard, Asunción Lera St.Clair and Siri Gloppen, the first set of (four) articles addresses the relations between climate change, justice, rights and the poor, and the narratives that construct these relations in the South African context. Titles: Let's work together: environmental and socio-economic rights in the courts (Jackie Dugard and Anna Alcaro); Climate change, poverty and climate justice in South African media: the case of COP17 (African Conference of the Parties 17) (Jill Johannessen); The role of social justice and poverty in South Africa's national climate change response white paper (Kjersti Flřttum and Řyvind Gjerstad); An analysis of the human development report 2011: sustainability and equity: a better future for all (Des Gasper, Ana Victoria Portocarrerro and Asunción Lera St.Clair). While anchored in South African realities and experience, the second set of (two) articles looks beyond the South African context, towards global processes. Titles: Water rights, commons and advocacy narratives (Patrick Bond); Payment for ecosystem services versus ecological reparations: the 'green economy', litigation and a redistributive eco-debt grant (Khadija Sharife and Patrick Bond). Finally, the two current development articles return to the theme of COP17. Brandon Barclay Derman in his article 'Contesting climate injustice during COP17', and Molefi Mafereka Ndlovu in his article 'Qwasha! Climate justice community dialogues compilation vol 1: voices from the street' provide the perspectives of people on the ground and of various activist groups on the challenges of climate change.
